The Burnout Epidemic Report 2021

Burnout is the buzzword of summer 2021. After more than a year of higher workloads due to layoffs, hiring freezes, and The Great Resignation, employees are feeling the strain. That’s not to mention juggling added pressures, like managing at-home childcare and e-learning, with the requirements of a full-time job, and distressing world events including protests and climate disasters.

The World Health Organization defines burnout as a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by:

  • Feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion
  • Increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one’s job
  • Reduced professional efficacy
